Make sure you complete the Topic ‘Are you the B.E.S.T. that you can be’, before taking this quiz, as this explains why your behaviours, emotions, sensations, and thoughts can affect your driving lessons and test.
Everyone wants to be the ‘BEST’ that they can be, and this quiz is designed to determine your ‘BEST Baseline’ before taking this course. You may find this quiz quite challenging; this is perfectly normal. It’s not a pleasant experience to ‘re-live’ all the negative behaviours, emotions, sensations, and thoughts that you experience before, during, or after your lessons or test! However, when you take this quiz again at the end of the course, I promise that you will be amazed at the difference in the results when you look back on this score and see just how far you have come.
Everyone using this course will be at a different point in their lessons, so rather than give specific examples, I want you to think of situations that trigger a strong emotional response for you personally. You may feel apprehensive about your first driving lesson, always panic at busy roundabouts, or pick over every mistake from the lesson you’ve just done. You may be about to take your test, and the thought of it fills you with dread, or you’ve perhaps failed several tests already and feel disheartened, and anxious about your next test. Whatever the situation, answer all the questions in the quiz honestly, based on how you feel now.
Rate each answer on the following scale:
- Never or Not Applicable
- Very occasionally
- Sometimes
- Quite often
- A lot of the time
